Starter Carlos Rodon called pitching a playoff game at Yankee Stadium a "cool experience," and for the first three innings it was, with Rodon dominating the Royals lineup. Just as quickly though, the lefty lost his way as Kansas City put up a four-spot en route to a 4-2 win. Rodon: "There was a point in the fourth I was trying to do a little more to get some swing and misses... I just want to be better than that." Manager Aaron Boone pointed to Rodon getting behind Salvador Perez, then giving up a solo home run as the start of his downfall. After allowing three more runs, Boone pulled Rodon admitting, "There's a shorter leash in the playoffs."
